Explicit promotion of Timothy Dolan, directly involved in the earlier sexual abuse scandal. It is hard to grasp why a Catholic even appears in a documentary on the Reformation, but it is even harder to grasp why specifically one had been chosen who had been involved in covering up such a scandal.
The documentary also does not even mention once Luther's connections to the Augustian order, that he famously wanted Hebrews, James, Jude and the book of Revelation removed from the Christian Canon, that he gave his blessing to have Anabaptists executed simply based on their correct opposition of infant baptism and emphasis on adult baptism, his ruthless rejection of biblical inerrancy in his commentary on Chronicles, his anti-Judaistic views that contributed significantly to the development of antisemitism in Germany and of the Nazi Party, and his entire rejection of the biblical concept of 'Free Will'.
I do not expect all those details to be reflected, but I expect at least some discernment and honesty. Minor issues can be left out, but to overlook all those details previously mentioned and to only paint a distorted picture with the positive attributes, is certainly not a Christian attitude.
